THE action of the Governor and State
officers in reconsidering the loan contract with
Messrs. Coffin & Stanton may inure to the
advantage of the State pecuniarily, but it is
queer proceeding. The contract by which
Coffin & Stanton were to loan the State
$3.50, 900, for five years, at 3.3 per cent.
interest was signed by both parties and was
complete. Just where the right of the State
to reconsider it comes in is not easily seen.
Certainly she had no more right to reconsider
than the other party had, and we fail to see
that either had any such right. A contract
is contract. Replying to the notice of re-:
consideration, Coffin g. Stanton say: 1--WE re-
gard our contract good in law, good in morals,
and good in the every-d day business relations of
life.' They are probably right but as they
very sensibly remark, they would be at dis
advantage if compelled to fight the State, and
they, therefore, waive any rishs they
might have in the premises. It appears
| the reconsideration was made because the
Governor and State officers had reason to
believe the money could be obtained at a
lower rate of interest than 3.3 per cent.
Coffin s. Stanton seem to recognize this fact,
also, for they now offer to advance the money
necessary to meet the maturing interest on
the State debt at the very low rate of 2.5
per cent interest per annum, payable at any
time at the pleasure Of the State. This
would not be a loan, but an advance and
obviate the necessity Of issuing bonds and
whatever expense that might involve. The
rate of interest is remarkably low, and the
proposition appears to be a very favorable
one. But it was declined by the finance
board, as they have determined to advertise
for bids on the loan.

WHEN the Legislature adjourned the Dem
ocratic Senators and Representatives were
explaining the action of their party to won
dering and dissatisfied constituents. The
withdrawal of that lifelong Democrat, Mr..
w. II. Miller, of Martinsville, from the Office
Of chairman of the county central committee,
out Of pure disgust with his party, indicates
that Senator Cox, of that district has been
around with his explanation. 1t will work

of the avowed programme of the Gladstone
party. Other prominent Liberals do not con-
cur with Mr. Morley as to the duration of the
struggle, but believe it will end in victory
for Ireland in much less time, prob
ably two years at furthest. It does
not seem possible that the present
situation can continue much longer. 1t is
too serious and the strain too great. The sem
timent of justice and fair play in England is
thoroughly aroused and is moving with un-
mistakeable purpose toward the inevitable
end. The sentiment of the civilized world is
actively enlisted in the same direction. The
wrongs of Ireland are too real, the sufferings
of the people too great, her demands too just
and reasonable not to challenge the sympathy
of mankind. The eloquent sermon of Bishop
Keane in Rome is echoed by ringing speeches
from representative men in New York, and
their common sentiment meets generous re-
Spouse in other distant quarters of the earth.
The wrongs of Ireland must be righted Their
cause is the cause of humanity and the
British government, great and powerful as it
is, cannot afford to turn deaf ear to the pro-
test of mankind The Irish cause is right
and must succeed; the government is wrong
and must yield. The policy of coercion will
dig its own grave 1t is a policy born of in
justice and tyranny, with cross of British
stubbornness and without a spark of the
boosted British quality of fair play. How in
fnitely better than coercion in the year Of
Queen Victorias jubilee would be the inaug
uration of policy of justice A jubilee year
that sees Ireland bound in shackles and over
run with servile soleiery and brutal police
will be misnomer and mockery. The
Queens government could make her reigr
memorable indeed by proclaming year of rea
jubilee and granting home rule to Ireland.

WE are accustomed to think of the older
Eastern States as pretty thoroughly explored
and settled, but there is one section at least
that is not. That part of New York known
as the Adirondack region has just been
thoroughly surveyed and mapped. for the first
time. The work has been done by direction
Of the State, and reveals many interesting
features Of country hitherto unknown, as the
exact location of mountains, lakes, marshes,
etc., including some new fishing grounds of
rare attractions. The survey also settles some
disputes Of long standing. relative to county
boundaries, and fixes the location Of an i'm
mense tract Of land belonging to the State.
The result of this survey in one of the Oldest
States goes to show that there is great deal
of unoccupied land in this country yet, and
We are in no danger of being crowded for
some time

the public mind contempt for the law and

THE University of Pennsylvania has we'll

have petitioned the Legislature to make a

subject is receiving increased attention in
other States, where the Importance, not to say
the duty, of giving dumb animals, when in

science can furnish is much more clearly
recognized than it was formerly. There are
now several veterinary colleges in the United
